God said I would meet you

"...Recently, a large wave of cold air has been detected moving southward. The Municipal Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow cold wave warning. The temperature in Shanghai may drop by 10 degrees. There is a blizzard in the north. Please pay attention to safety when traveling..."

In the taxi, the radio was rustling. Lin Jinyu heard it, but didn't take it seriously.He finished the retest and was taking a taxi to the station at the moment.

For exempted students, under normal circumstances, the re-examination is just a form of nervousness. Unless your performance is really bad, most schools tend to accept exempted students instead of unified examinations.

Lin Jinyu made up his mind to go back to Shanghai when he started planning. If the first choice school is not good, he can choose another university in Shanghai for transfer. If he only wants to stay in Shanghai, it should not be difficult, so he did not feel at all after the interview. Tangle, just put this matter behind.

The admission result would come out within one and a half months at the latest. After he came out of the examination room, he didn't even have time to eat, so he changed the time of the bus ticket to the nearest class and rushed to his undergraduate school.

It's definitely not that he misses Zhang Xinli after being separated for a few days, he's just rushing back to work, trying to earn more before school starts, and make up for the round-trip fare, um.

"Have you finished the exam?"

Lin Jinyu passed the ticket gate and just got on the train when his phone buzzed and vibrated, and someone sent him a message.

"I finished the exam early," Lin Jinyu put the bag on her bunk, and replied, "What's the matter?"

After waiting there for a while, I sent a message: "Have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Xinli actually wanted to ask when he would come back.Anyway, the retest is over, so it's better to buy a ticket and go back right away... But he was afraid that Lin Jinyu would think he was not caring, and would just rush him and deduct points for him, so he had to go around first.

"Beer, mineral water, peanut and melon seeds eight-treasure porridge, does anyone need..."

The familiar long and small shopping cart specially designed for trains wobbled and ran over the floor with a rustling sound. Lin Jinyu, who didn't care about eating, ordered a bucket of instant noodles at a high price of ten yuan. While tearing up the seasoning packet, she typed: " After eating, I ate at the restaurant I used to go to, tsk tsk, it’s so delicious.”

"That's good," Zhang Xinli said restrainedly, "I'll send you the train number, and I'll wait for you the day after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Lin Jinyu said in her heart that I will get in the car now, and I will probably arrive in the early morning of tomorrow.He didn't tell Zhang Xinli which bus he was on, only the arrival time.

In the carriage, the yelling of the train attendant and the cry of the baby were intertwined, making everyone's head explode. Since she stopped spending money at home, Lin Jinyu felt that she had spent all the trains in her life, and no matter where she went, the first means of transportation she considered It is the train, because the fare is cheap, if you choose a suitable train number, you can sleep on the train overnight, and even save money on accommodation, just slow down.

According to the original train number, it was still dark when Lin Jinyu arrived, and it was time to fall asleep, but Zhang Xinli didn't say anything extra, and replied "OK" cleanly.

During the bumpy journey, Lin Jinyu fell asleep for a while and was woken up for a while. After an unknown period of time, the alarm clock he set to remind himself of his arrival at the station rang.

It was pitch black outside the window, probably passing through some barren fields without even a single light, most people in the carriage were asleep, Lin Jinyu waited for a long time, but the flight attendant didn't come, no one yelled xx and stood up, calling the sleeping passengers to get up exchange tickets.

This shouldn't be the case. Normally, the ticket should be exchanged half an hour before arriving at the station, but now there are only 15 minutes left, Lin Jinyu wondered.He sat up and put on his coat, rubbed his face to get rid of the greasy feeling on the pillow, and passed a cigarette to the uncle who was not sleeping next to him, saying that he just fell asleep, shouldn't he be at the station now, what? Condition.

"It's late." The uncle took his cigarette and replied, "It just stopped for a long time, it should be giving way to the track."

"That's it, thanks." Lin Jinyu sat back.

Slow cars have to give way to fast ones, and that’s it for buying cheap tickets. Delays are not uncommon, and you have to bear it yourself.

Lin Jinyu put on his shoes and went to the junction of the carriages, and asked the flight attendant how late he was and when he would arrive. The other party said that he was half an hour late, so he went back to sit and sent a message to Zhang Xinli, saying that he would be late for a while and let him rest at home. Come to pick it up, and the other side quickly replied with four words: "It's okay, there's no rush."

Hang Chi Hang Chi followed the car for a few ten minutes, but Lin Jinyu didn't see it at the station, but waited for the second time to avoid it.

It’s already three o’clock in the morning, and it’s supposed to be here. People in the same carriage woke up one after another. The women lay on the bunks and watched their mobile phones or children, and the men stood around talking together. Many trains are late, and the train with the lowest level of avoidance is not only affected by the weather, but also has to give way constantly, so it is naturally getting later and later.

Natural disasters are force majeure, so it's useless to scold your mother in a hurry. Lin Jinyu comforted herself. Fortunately, he didn't need to change trains, and there was no such thing as one class being late and not being able to catch the next one. It was a blessing in misfortune, just wait.

"It's so annoying to be late all the time, you go home, I'll go back by myself when I get there."

He sent a message to Zhang Xinli again, saying that he didn't know when it would be late, which made him sleepy. There was no reply this time. Lin Jinyu urged him a few more times, and Zhang Xinli finally replied "Okay, don't bother".

That's it.

There is a heating and air conditioner in the car, no matter how cold it is outside, Lin Jinyu won't be able to freeze for the time being, so he leaned back and began to look at the weather and the map.

Zhang Xinli didn't send any more messages after that, Lin Jinyu thought he was asleep.There were murmurs in the carriage from time to time, and another hour later, at about four o'clock, the flight attendant finally came to exchange the ticket, saying that the front was here.

Lin Jinyu put her bag on her back, got out of bed, and slowly moved forward with the crowd.

Finally, the carriage door opened, and before he had time to immerse himself in the wonderful imagination of "I'm finally here, I can take a shower and sleep", the strong wind almost knocked him down.

The province had issued a red warning for strong winds and snowstorms three days ago, but Lin Jinyu had just returned to Shanghai at that time, so she didn't know about it.At this moment, although the ground of the platform has been snow-plowed, it is still wet, and the wind is whistling, as if countless monsters covered with blades are rampaging between the sky and the earth.

It's too cold... the north is thousands of miles away from Shanghai, and we live in a global village, but the weather is quite different. The sun was still shining in Shanghai yesterday. When Lin Jinyu got in the car, she felt hot even when she wore a scarf, but when she got off the car, she wanted to wrap A military coat and a dog fur hat.

He got out of the car with difficulty, found a pillar to block the wind, first took out a scarf from his bag, wrapped it around, and then started to walk outside through the snow.

The train station in the early morning is much quieter than in the daytime. The lights hanging above the platform are dim, and countless suitcase rollers grind across the ground with a layer of snow and sand, like the sound of ant colonies walking through the jungle.

Although Lin Jinyu didn't bring an umbrella, fortunately he was wearing a hat, and fluffy snowdrops fell on his shoulders.It was the first time for him to enter and leave the train station at this time, the dark night sky, the desolate city fringe scene, the scarlet broadcast font, the white goose feather snow, all the objects that seemed ordinary during the day were bred with an inexplicable feeling at this moment. Cold air.

Could it be that after returning to Shanghai for a few days, she became delicate again?Within a few minutes of getting out of the car, Lin Jinyu's body, which was heated by the air conditioner, quickly cooled down. Nature is indeed the greatest. Compared with this harsh wind, the man-made air conditioner's fluffy wind is like a younger brother among younger brothers.

Many of the people who got off were in the same compartment. Lin Jinyu mixed in the crowd, walked out of the station with a dull head, and saw the uncle who had just handed him the cigarette laughed, and while accepting his wife's eyes, he hugged his wife and child and drove home.

Tsk tsk, alas, no one cares about his bachelor who came back early in the morning.

Most of the public transportation had already stopped. Lin Jinyu squinted her eyes and swept around in the heavy snow with extremely low visibility, thinking about walking a few more steps, leaving the square to hail a taxi.

The exit was diagonally opposite, and there was no one in the square. Everyone was either picked up by family and friends, or slowly moved out along the long road against the leeward wall. Lin Jinyu was a little anxious to go home, and wanted to walk over directly in the wind.He put the bag on his shoulder and checked the distance with his eyes, which was a few hundred meters. He usually walked casually to get there, so it shouldn't be a big problem to cross it.

He underestimated the power of wind + blizzard.

The strong wind in the north is so powerful that it is a bit stronger than he imagined. Lin Jinyu has studied here for several years, but he rarely hangs out outside in the early morning, and he has never encountered such extreme weather. He believes that he is in good health in his 20s. I didn't think too much, and walked towards the opposite corner when I got out of the eaves sheltered from the wind, but I couldn't hold it halfway.

The essence of blizzard and blizzard lies in the word "storm". Not only is the total amount of snow falling large and the wind force is fierce, but also the increase is rapid within a period of time. When Lin Jinyu just stepped out of the roof, what was blowing on him was only big but soft snow Tuanzi, halfway through, turned into Snow Plus Little Hail.

The square is empty on all sides, which is a good place for ventilation. The wind blows in a hurry, but with physical blessings, it can directly blow people in a different direction. Lin Jinyu only feels that the oncoming wind with small ice particles is like a knife. My face hurts, presumably when the water knife cuts the marble, the marble should almost feel like this.

Oh my god, no wonder there are so many people, no one walks to the center of the square.Lin Jinyu regretted it, but he couldn't go back. It was against the wind that he walked towards the exit, and he could still maintain his direction by gritting his teeth.

The exit that is usually just a few steps away seems so far away at the moment, you can't go forward, you can't go back, it's hard to get off, that's it.

Just when Lin Jinyu called out that every day should not be answered, and that the land was not working, wishing he could travel back and shout in his ear, "You idiot! Follow the crowd and you'll get it! Don't follow the usual path", a beam of light from a mobile phone suddenly pierced the darkness, In the strong wind and snowstorm, he approached him step by step.

"Jin Yu."

The snow suddenly seemed to be half gone - Lin Jinyu felt someone grab his frozen hand, and then hugged him into his arms.

He was blocking the wind, so the wind and the blizzard slanted towards him.

……

Lin Jinyu looked up at Zhang Xinli with her whole body covered in snow, and asked, "It's so dark, how do you know it's me?"

Zhang Xinli held up a big umbrella in one hand and put his arms around him in the other, and said, "I saw you, the wind was so strong that you didn't hear me... and you are the only one who is so stunned, no one else will leave, just you."

"What a coincidence, you saw it right after I came out, have you been waiting?"

"Well," Zhang Xinli didn't say anything else, he swallowed the icy wind, the snow like goose feathers, and the waiting with no deadline, and just said, "Go home."

The bus was delayed for at least two or three hours. Except for lovers and parents, no one would wait for someone in this snowstorm.

Lin Jinyu suddenly realized: the bachelor who came back early in the morning is indeed loved by no one, but...he seems to be not.

In this stormy city, in this precarious world, someone is waiting for him to go back.
